The contest is part of the Indiana Humanities Council’s two-year Food for Thought initiative, an examination and celebration of the ways food helps to define Indiana’s culture. The program considers food in the context of history, law, politics, science, the arts, religion, ethnicity and our place in the world. Hoosiers can learn more by visiting the Food for Thought traveling exhibit, on display at the Indiana Statehouse March 11th-16th as part of Agriculture Appreciation Month.

We will post essay winners later this week.

Food for your family, from our family.

Indiana's Family of Farmers has joined the Blogosphere.


We are so excited to join you here!

We can't wait to feature and highlight the hard working men and women that put the food on your table and give you the chance to win some great Indiana products to you along the way.

Indiana has so much to offer from our fields of grain to the meat you eat everyday and much, much more throughout this great state!

Starting next Monday, we will kick each week off by featuring a great Indiana food, company or product and offer you, dear reader, the opportunity to enter to win fun prizes from them!

From time to time, we even just might have some of the fabulous women from The Real Farmwives of America and Friends drop by for a visit or two to offer some of their fantastic recipes and tips as they balance life on and off the farm.

If you want to get a head start on all the fun, go ahead and join us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and don't forget to follow us through Google Friend Connect (in the column to your right).

In the meantime, check out this great video featuring one of many of your fellow Hoosier neighbors.
